A cart can be saved and distributes as a PNG image, use save game.png command.
TIC-80 can work like a compiler without UI with --cli command line parameter, for example here we load game.tic cart from current dir (use --fs .) and export it as game.exe executable for Windows:
$ ./tic80 --cli --fs . --cmd "load game.tic & export win game.exe & exit"
cart game.tic loaded!
use RUN command to run it
GET /export/0.90/win [100%]
game.exe exported :)
Also, games can be exported without access to the editors with alone=1 flag (PRO feature)
export linux game.exe alone=1
The help command was redesigned and you can get info about spec/ram/api/command/...
>help

---=== API ===---
sync(mask=0 bank=0 tocart=false)
The pro version of TIC-80 contains 8
memory banks.
To switch between these banks, sync can
be used to either load contents from a
memory bank to runtime, or save
contents from the active runtime to a
bank.
The function can only be called once
per frame.If you have manipulated the
runtime memory (e.g. by using mset),
you can reset the active state by
calling sync(0,0,false).
This resets the whole runtime memory to
the contents of bank 0.Note that sync
is not used to load code from banks;
this is done automatically.
Another useful thing you can export whole help info in Markdown format, use command export help cheatsheet.md
Added mouse capture functionality to receive relative values instead of the current cursor position (useful in first-person 3D games), the cursor is hidden and this mode. To enable this mode pls use poke(0x7FC3F,1,1) command.
Small example with enabling the relative mode:
function flip(val)return val>0 and 0 or 1 end
function TIC()
if btnp(4)then
poke(0x7FC3F,flip(peek(0x7FC3F,1)),1)
end
cls()
local x,y=mouse()
print(x..":"..y)
end
Added baremetal/rpi/3ds builds to Github Actions and all the Nightly Builds can be downloaded here https://nightly.link/nesbox/TIC-80/workflows/build/master
Now you can change bit mode in the map editor
On Android, you can switch between the system keyboard and TIC-80 internal keyboard
Hardware keyboard now detects automatically.
